The Challenges of Being a Rural-based Non-profit

As with many non-profits, securing sufficient funding to cover operating expenses is a never-ending challenge. This seems to be especially true for organizations based in rural areas such as ours. (A challenge further exacerbated by the scarcity of large local corporate and business sponsors.) Although we serve an important segment of the community, not everyone realizes what it takes to sustain a well-run program.

Approximate Program Operating Expenses for (1) Year

Total operating costs can vary from year-to-year depending upon horse care needs, equipment requirements and other variable expenses. Our current annual budget anticipates that approximately $120,000 will be needed to fund our program for 2017. This includes all expenses associated with: the care and feeding of our 9 horses, our facility lease, providing lessons for 50+ riders each session, staffing, and other operating costs. Approximately 20% of these expenses will be offset by rider revenue. All other expenses will need to be covered by a combination of grants, donations and fund raising activities.
